Subscription pricing
Hello everyone,
I have spent the past 10 days focusing mostly on RC. I am having a great deal of trouble with this section. JY's low-res summary has not helped me one bit. I am having great troubles understanding the passage before moving into the questions. I have started looking into possible tutors to help develop strategies that will help me. I had a call with a company called "Varsity Tutors" today, they gave me a quote of $1200 for 12 hours of 1 on 1 instruction time. The price seems absolutely ludicrous given the amount of supervision.
I'm feeling defeated at this point, and any help would be greatly appreciated

I would recommend the Bibles, but honestly at the end of the day, I found that what helps most is focusing on consciously rephrasing what you're reading in your own words. This really helps you get past the clutter of the LSAT and understand the main point, tone, etc. And for the questions where you get specific lines to reference to, the passage will still be there to reference. So, I found it more important to focus on understanding the passage as a whole.

I was having so much trouble with RC earlier this summer and then I started reading really hard things in my spare time, like classic novels written in older English (which tend to have difficult grammatical structures) and it helped me SO MUCH. I went from getting like -7 to even managing to get -0. Highly recommend! Another thing that also helped me was telling myself I was interested in every passage, it made understanding everything much easier for me :)
Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I’ll definitely look into your suggestion.

Did you try the RC Bible?
I have not. But that may be worth investing in. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.

Hey PFT,
Have you ever tried just having Leroy teach you? One boop = one free lesson
Don't feel defeated! You can definitely do this! I don't know what the standard pricing is but that sounds a little ridiculous. I don't know any 7Sage tutors, but I'm sure they would be much better with the pricing.
As for RC in general, I say just reading a lot helps. Not just reading LSAT-related things, or just RC passages, but reading in general.
